WATER COOLER TALK: Sweden, public pleasuring has just been ruled legal do you think this is a step forward or a perverse step backward?

In Sweden, pleasuring yourself in public has just been ruled legal, after a 65-year-old man was caught on a beach doing just that. Initially, he was charged with sexual assault, but the courts ended up ruling that the man has a right to pleasure himself — as long as he isn’t finding pleasure off of another individual.

Sweden has long been considered a sexually progressive land, but with a ruling such as this one, what about young children who now may witness these kinds of sexual demonstrations? Do you think this is a step forward or a perverse step backward?
